7428 Arthur Street
Much of this block was done by H. C. Orth. Here’s a superior impression to my previous example, including the association oval.

East Bay MUD apparently dated their stuff for a while. This is actually the only example I’ve found for these bronze whatever-they-ares.
Special stamps: Home Pride Ice Cream

Some of you will recognize this stamp, from the sidewalk next to Fenton’s Creamery at Piedmont Avenue and Entrada Avenue (photo courtesy Fleur Helsingor).

As I approach the end of my project visiting every sidewalk in Oakland, there will come times when it takes more time to find a new maker or date than I have time to walk the streets. After more than seven years, that time has come and for now I don’t have a new mark lined up. When this happens, and it will inexorably become more common, I’ll put up some of the other interesting sidewalk markings I’ve run into over the years.
A number of street corners have the respective street names stamped into the concrete. They aren’t signed and dated. This mark at the corner of Aileen and Dover Streets has been eliminated since I documented it a few years ago.

An odd set of names.

G. Tribuzio added his sons during his latest years, but the firm never got its own stamp.
